Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited commissioned event services for the MoneyLive Summit, a business event taking place in the United Kingdom. The requirement covered attendance or participation in the MoneyLive Summit Event, described as a two-day event for 9–10 March. The buying organisation is Ordnance Survey Limited, a public undertaking based in Southampton. The selected service provider was Marketforce Business Media Limited, a large business media company based in London. This is relevant to event organisers, conference and summit operators, business media companies, and providers of event participation or sponsorship services. The procurement concerns a specific financial-services-focused summit rather than mapping, surveying or geospatial services, so businesses whose offer is centred on professional events and related commercial media activity are the most likely fit.

The procurement reached completion and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. One lot was awarded to Marketforce Business Media Limited for event services. The contract was signed on 24 February 2026 and covered 9–10 March 2026. Its value was £24,740 excluding VAT and £29,688 including VAT. The contract was terminated on 31 July 2026, with the reason recorded as completion; implementation ended on 10 March 2026 and the final value was £24,740 excluding VAT and £29,688 including VAT. The published evaluation basis was the buyer’s direct award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract related to a single completed requirement for the MoneyLive Summit Event, with the award recorded as active before the contract was marked terminated on completion.

This procurement indicates demand from Ordnance Survey Limited for participation in a specialist business summit delivered by an established event and business-media operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need experience organising or delivering professional conferences, summits or comparable business events, together with the commercial relationships and operational capacity to provide a complete event proposition. Relevant strengths could include event programme delivery, delegate and stakeholder management, venue or event-partner coordination, sponsorship or exhibition arrangements, and communications aimed at a professional audience. The successful supplier’s profile also suggests that scale, a recognised event brand and the ability to deliver a polished national event were valued. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery of short, clearly defined event engagements for public-sector or corporate clients.
